Tamara Rubin hates spam with a passion. When she receives voicemails from a lawyer she doesn’t know, she is convinced he is trying to scam her. But Jonathan Stein turns out to be legitimate, and has some shocking news: Tamara is set to inherit a large painting, Party on the Seine, by Edouard Manet, the famous French artist. Apparently her great-great-great-great grandmother was Berthe Morisot, another artist who painted with the Impressionists and was very talented as well. Morisot had been married to Manet’s brother Eugene, and the painting had been passed down through the line of succession. But when a distant relative of Edouard Manet insists the painting belongs to him, Tamara must prove the validity of her claim. Who will inherit Manet’s famous work? This novel is perfect for anyone with an interest in art history and the Impressionists.
